📝 Ingredients

  • 2.5 Pounds Potatoes (Yukon Gold, chopped small)
  • 3 Ounces Chorizo (beef)
  • 1 Clove Garlic
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
  • Queso Fresco (or cotija cheese, for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and the potatoes. Place a lid on the pan.
  2. 2Cook, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are roasted and tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. 3Remove the lid, adding a little more oil if needed and continue to cook the potatoes, increasing the heat to medium high if needed until browned, crispy sides show.
  4. 4Meanwhile, in another pan, add the chorizo and garlic over medium heat. Place a splatter screen over the pan as it can be very messy. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 6 minutes.
  5. 5Using a mesh strainer, strain any excess liquid from the chorizo.
  6. 6Add the chorizo mixture to the potatoes and cook, stirring as needed until everything is evenly coated.
  7. 7Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately with fresh cilantro and queso fresco.
